Christmas day
Christmas morning
The kids actually didn't wake up until almost 8 and then the funny thing was they had forgotten what day it was. They went out to the living room and proceeded to turn on Curious George. I had to go out there and say "hey, do you kids notice anything different??" I took a shower and then we all opened our gifts. Abby was just completely entralled in the gift opening, it didn't really matter what was inside. One box she couldn't get open so she just tossed aside and went for another gift.
Chad was so cool and got me and the kids stainless steel drinking straws:
I'm figuring out that I got Abby Lite Brite because I wanted to do it :)
Can you see the homemade gift tag?
Every five-year old boy's dream, a dart blaster!
Abby's horsies:
Further reducing the plasticides in our house, I got Chad a BPA free nalgene bottle:
Mom's house
At about 1 pm, we headed over to my mom's for the rest of day. Of course the kids enjoyed opening their gifts from grandma and grandpa, and also from the Labani's.
Dad did a bunch of electical work on the boat (the 22) for Chad:
Abby is in awe of her princess shoes:
There's the rocket-belly!
We had a very lazy day, watching both new movies that the kids got from Aunt Carrie:
We set up Jamie's new racetrack in the kid's room:

Christmas program
Jamie's preschool class put on a Christmas program for the families on Dec. 16th. Chad took a break from work to come and watch and Grandma Debbie came to watch too. I was there, with 2 cameras around my neck, crawling up and down the aisle, pregnant as ever. It was very low light so the pictures are a bit blurry and grainy, but I'm still happy to have at least a few that turned out pretty good. Jamie is in the top row, third kid from the right.
